Ian, Aldus marketed Freehand under a licensing agreement - it was never an Aldus product as such. Part of the licensing agreement was that Aldus never offered a competing product. When Aldus 'merged' with Adobe (or as one bright spark put it- 'as Jonah merged with the whale'), Adobe had no choice but to get rid of either Freehand or Illustrator. As Illustrator was a 'real' Adobe product, it was no contest.... -- Len Posted from the UK
